I'm not a huge fan of '74, but this shows has some real gems...the DS is mellower and more jazzy than spaced-out weird, plus you get the origins of the SLIPKNOT as Jerry works it thru towards the end, but the simplicity and beauty of this Stella esp. Jerry's vocals, really floored me.
Hope you'll agree.

Another amazing thing about this DS--it's so engaging on so many diff. levels, you almost forget: NO VERSES ARE SUNG. It's just a great instrumental journey.
and yeah, Keith is the enigma...I get the feeling he never knew how much he COULD contribute if he just tried. There's a lot to explore in this one.
As for why I'm not hugely into '74 (the other poster's inquiry) I just feel a lot of the shows are very similar in structure and execution. I get a little bored w/the full wx report suite (I prefer to just hear LIG, a la '77)...too many of the DarkStars are feedback/space/atonal Phil indulgences, and it's just not my bag.
That said, i do think the finest ChinaRiders come from this year b/c of the wonderful MLB jams thrown in the middle, and of course there are some stand out shows, such as Freedom Hall, Kentucky, which I think belongs in any Top 10 list.
Glad you dug 7/25/74, He'sLive...
